Hong Yang rebelled, and Zhao Jie, the son of Longguan Town in eastern Anhui Province, fled to Hulu Town, where he started a business and built the Zhao family's house. He was upright, charitable, and caring for the people, but he had a profound conflict with the Zhu family, a wealthy businessman. For the sake of family glory, the interests of future generations, and maintaining the Zhao family's position as the leader of the ancient town, they have gone through several public confrontations and secret contests. In the "ban on rice exporting" incident in the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu, the battle between the two sides reached its most intense level. In the end, Zhao Jie lost the battle with the powerful and profiteers and chose to commit suicide by taking poison in a dignified manner.
